For the first time, Nepal has exported 40 megawatts of electricity to Bangladesh, marking a historic moment as the country expands its power trade beyond India.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) spokesperson Chandan Kumar Ghosh hailed the development as a landmark achievement. The electricity transmission was made possible with approval from India’s Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, allowing the power to pass through Madhya Pradesh.
This accomplishment follows a tripartite agreement finalized on October 3, involving senior representatives from Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. NEA’s Executive Director, Kulman Ghising, signed the agreement on Nepal’s behalf.
